Seems better than happening deepest Dorset riders announcing it through various channels. Feels better having quotes from riders etc on the official website imo..plus I think most fans knew most of side would be going anyway 

Yeah…..and don’t see why Marko thinks it will make a difference to our enjoyment of winning.

Rowe being the prime example, with the rumoured reduction he could start as a third heat leader but he's no where near that in reality yet. Dropped by Poole and don't really see where else he will end up in the CL

Of course, a five-point-plus middle-order lad (like Anders Rowe) would be signed up in jig-time if he let it be known he was available for £25 per point less than the (vastly-inflated) going rate........

Out of curiosity what is the vastly inflated going rate?

I’m sure I read something recently where Bomber mentioned £90/point, and I got the feeling that was a league-mandated ceiling.

Thought Dick would have answered my question.

Might explain why some have said they were planning to drop Div 2?

Although "sponsors" might be able to top this up maybe? ;)

I don't know the ins and outs of it, but I guess someone outside a club could sponsor a ride according to their points. But a club can't channel money through someone else. I think the league do some kind of auditing on that.

Unfortunately I can't remember where I read what Bomber said, otherwise I'd point it out. He didn't say a lot, but he did reference it at some point.

Thought Basso, Brennan, Vissing and Tarasenko only four confirmed to not return?

The 5 include nowak and tarasenko I believe. Who took one place in the 7. So would be Ben, Tom, claus, nowak and tarasenko being the 5

I do love it when the "I know more than you do " brigade show up.

My assumption would be with the Riders that are leaving announced, that Bomber, Complin and Ace are most probably staying.

The trick will be to get a strong 5 in probably around the 8 mark so it doesn't take a genius to work out that it's coming from the batch of ........ King,Worral,Kerr,cook,Lawson,Nichols,howarth or Wright.

 I would also assume by taking one of those at 5 to get a heat leader at 3 would be between 5.5 and 6.5, leaving two riders in the 4's - 5's to fill the second strings.

Watching what other teams are doing helps you narrow everything down.
